I'm really concerned about my daughter's skin. She's getting these white spots on her face, and they seem to be getting bigger. We saw our pediatrician who thought it was a fungal infection and suggested an antifungal cream for 15 days. But after using it, there wasnt any improvement. So we went to a dermatologist, and he diagnosed it as pityriasis alba. He prescribed mixing Telenorm oil with coconut oil and applying it in the morning with a bit of sun exposure, plus using Flutivate E cream at night and a special shampoo, moisturizer, and soap. Im worried if this is the right treatment for pityriasis alba, or should I consider seeing another dermatologist for a second opinion?

View allI'm dealing with eczema and was told to use emoderm cream, but I can't find it in any of the pharmacies around here. Can you suggest an alternative cream that would work in its place?
An alternative to Emoderm cream for eczema could be Elica cream. You can apply Elica cream thinly on the affected skin twice a day for relief from eczema symptoms.

Can any STIs be passed through a naked body-to-body massage? I'm really freaking out because I got a massage from a girl who was naked and she rubbed her whole body on me, including her breasts on my penis. We didn't have sex, and my penis didn't touch her vagina, but I'm still super worried. What are the risks?

I'm having a tough time after my fissure surgery. The doctor gave me potassium permanganate and told me to sit in warm water with it for 20 minutes. It seemed okay at first, but when I went back to work and walked around, the skin outside my anus started to burn really badly. Now, it's happening again and again. What should I do? Can you help me figure this out?
After fissure surgery, to alleviate the burning sensation, apply a topical analgesic cream or ointment, take regular sitz baths with potassium permanganate as directed, and consider using a donut-shaped cushion to reduce pressure while sitting,
